    Yea, nothing like trying to lose your virginity second time round. Its hard work trying to catch up on a well spent youth. My own dad had to show me how to use a bong - how humiliating. (yup, hes and ex dub too)

    Also I get offended if men on building sites dont wolf whistle me. I want to shout "OY whats up with you then, QUEEAH or something?"

    Yes I have read 'Oranges' - didnt it just sound exactly like every small town book study group you have ever been to. It was reading stuff like that which made me realise we are not the only religion in the world, and that all the issue and agonies were the same for thinking people in any religion.

    Was I the only kid who came home and found himself oddly disturbed by the music to "Moomins"?

    Btw, Katie, I'm reliably informed that you're not supposed to call it a bong in polite company - it's a "water pipe". The Americans should know - they have all the best head shops!

    That was like reading a Mirror image of my own Youth!Virtually identical...the 70,s were drab enough anyway without being dragged out on Saturday Morning Ministry too.Fat smelly Sisters who insisted on working with ya,spankings,missing great TV programmes....

    Ok the Most Holy regarding banned Kids Tv had to be Rentaghost...i remember sneakily watching it once and my Mum almost Fainted with fear of demunz!

    Oh yeah,and everything EVERYTHING was Demonized!

    Its amazing we all turned out so normal......

    (goes off singing "theyre coming to take me away ha ha...")

    The Jester in Rentaghost was way cool
    We learned to change channels quick, when my mum was around - I corrupted my younger siblings

    I'm suddenly realising how many of us here are in our 30's!!!

    Exactly! Hat pins, thick tweed coats, sour attitudes and making a 'joyful' noise unto the Lord.

    How could I forget Rentaghost??? It was FAB The Meakers, Timothy Claypole, that gorgoeus scottish witch lady (nodding respect to Little toe and Tk), the woman who ended up in Coronation Street. God I loved that programme.

    BTW is anyone going to Glastonbury this year? Just thought I would ask, as I am groing very fond of you guys and gals already (shy smiles)

    Hatpins and thick tweed coats in the Congo?

    PLease AnnOMaly, you have to enlighten me. Ive read Heart of Darkness, and Conrad NEVER mentions any of that!

    KK:
    Glastonbury is sadly out, for me, this year.
    You do know about the BBQ in Somerset next month, though, right?
